The dimensional formula of torque is MCQ with Answer and Explanation

The dimensional formula of torque is
A. [ML²T⁻¹]
B. [MLT⁻²]
C. [ML²T⁻²]
D. [MLT⁻¹]
Answer: Option C
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
Torque = r × F => [L][MLT⁻²] = [ML²T⁻²], same as work.

Question #1
Which of the following pairs of physical quantities has the same dimensions?
A. Angular Momentum and Planck's Constant
B. Pressure and Strain
C. Force and Power
D. Momentum and Kinetic Energy

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
Angular momentum (L = mvr) has dimensions [ML²T⁻¹]. Planck's constant (h = E/ν) also has dimensions [ML²T⁻¹]. They share the same dimensional formula. Force is [MLT⁻²], Power is [ML²T⁻³], Momentum is [MLT⁻¹], and Strain is a dimensionless quantity [M⁰L⁰T⁰]. This is a frequent exam question.

Question #2
Simple pendulum period T = 2π√(l/g). If length quadrupled, T becomes:
A. Double
B. Four times
C. Half
D. Same

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
T ∝ √l. If l' = 4l, T' = √4 × T = 2T. Period doubles when length quadruples. Memory aid: 'Pendulum: T ∝ √l; 4× length ⇒ 2× period'. Proportional reasoning frequently tested in competitive oscillations sections.

Question #3
Pendulum period independent of:
A. Length
B. Bob mass
C. Small amplitude
D. Gravity

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
T = 2π√(l/g): depends on l and g, independent of mass (gravitational and inertial mass cancel). Memory aid: 'Pendulum: T ∝ √(l/g); independent of mass for small angles'. Oscillations concept frequently tested in competitive exams.
